Two years ago today I hit publish on this blog for the first time. It was terrifying. I have posted everyday since. Sometimes it's still a little scary but mostly it's fantastic. You guys, make it so.

I started Smacksy as a writing exercise. What I didn't know back then was that this blog world I was jumping into would offer so much more than a place to stack the words. I have made friends here. Through connecting on this site, I've had the privilege of meeting a number of you in person and there are so many others that I hope to some day. Also, I have some memory issues. I have memory holes you could drive a gypsy wagon through (horses and everything). The practice of noticing and writing down the happy bits from my life with my family makes all this stuff real for me. It's a place I can return to and see what happened and meet up with you guys. I like you guys.

I love your blog! I have my own (almost) five year old star-wars obsessed little boy. Bob and George would get along famously. Also, Jeff and I went through school together starting in preschool! Thank you for sharing and keep up the wonderful work!

My boys are grown, and I so wish I'd written a little something every day about them. I love your blog. We all get to read and fall in love with Bob, and you get to have this sweet record of his childhood. Everybody wins. Happy bloggiversary!

Love your Blog!!!! Happy Anniversary!!! I love hearing about Bob's antics and how you deal with them everyday. Having no human children of mine own- only the4 legged kind- I live a little through you or at least the funny parts.

Happy Anniversary. Two years of daily wonderful posts. Two years of Bob, yet not nearly enough. Thank the marvelous you and the magnificent little jedi for all the laughs and tears. (Which rhymes with peers, not pears.) Love you, Bob and smacksy to bits.
